ACC, whilst your point proves my point re: leisure pax spending habits, one caveat is that obviously Turkey and Egypt are non EU and therefore the sales of cigarettes and spirits will increase spend. So I would imagine.
Slapdash8.... interesting rumours. Where have you heard that? Easyjet to T2 would certainly remove any issues re: an increasingly congested T3 ramp. Most, if not all, Easy aircraft will be leaving just as the inbound transatlantics are arriving and it also provides some flow of flights ex T2 during the quieter afternoon/evening times.
Taxi times would be a little bit longer mind.
